Not able to find an item you’re looking for in our inventory? Here are a couple things to try.

Use the search box on the website. Sometimes searching for one keyword (for example, searching for “watermelon” instead of “watermelon slices”) can help.

You can either search for a specific item or browse by department. We also make recommendations based on what you bought before.

Add items to your cart by selecting +Add or Add to Cart. You can also adjust the item quantity by using the + or - buttons.
You can review your cart while shopping by selecting the shopping basket button. Here, you can see the next available delivery time and the amount needed to reach any order minimums. You can also view your item total, adjust quantities, or remove items from your cart.

When you’re ready to check out, visit your cart and select the Checkout button. You’ll need to add a delivery address, preferred delivery window (up to 5 days in advance), and payment information. Then, go ahead and place your order! Your groceries will be on their way in no time. Or you can place your delivery for up to 5 days from now.

If your shopper hasn’t started working on your order, you can update it on the Order page. If your shopper already started working on your order, you can chat with them for assistance by selecting Chat with shopper from your Order page.

Add instructions for how you want your order shopped and/or delivered. Through instructions, you can let your shopper know that you prefer greener bananas or help them find the apartment to drop off your order.

How do I add item instructions?

You can add item instructions from your cart, on the checkout page, or even after you place your order (but only before it’s been shopped).

• From your cart: Click or tap Instructions on the item for which you’d like to leave a note
• From the checkout page: Click or tap Review to review items and add instructions
• After you ordered: Visit the Order page to review your items and add any instructions

Item instructions carry over to future orders. If your item preferences change, make sure to review your notes when ordering the same items in the future.

During checkout, you can request the order be left at your door if you're not around. This option will notify the shopper it’s an unattended delivery and prompt them to take a picture of the order at your door before they leave.

Please note— If you choose for your order to be left unattended, you accept full responsibility for the order after it has been delivered, including any loss due to theft or temperature sensitivity damage.

Replacement instructions

Items may be out of stock. When this happens, you have 3 options—

• Find Best Match: Your shopper selects the best possible replacement. This is the default option for when items aren’t available.
• Pick Specific Replacement: To select your own replacement, tap or click on the item, then select Pick Specific Replacement. You can search the catalog or choose a replacement from a list of suggestions.
• Don’t Replace: If you prefer not to replace an item, choose Don’t Replace to get a refund instead.

Keep in mind you’ll be refunded or charged for the difference in price for replacement items.

If you have order notifications turned on, look for alerts when an item is replaced or refunded.

How do I add delivery instructions?

Adding delivery instructions can help shoppers deliver your order. Your delivery driver sees these instructions when they start heading your way.

Useful info to include—

• Parking locations
• Building security or gate information
• Specific directions for hard-to-locate front doors
• Any markers on your home that might help the shopper find the best entrance

You can add delivery instructions—

• While placing the order
• After placing the order (but before your order is shopped)
• When adding an address to your account

If your shopper is working on your order, you can contact your shopper directly.

Please note that shoppers who can’t reach you via chat or phone may not be able to deliver your order.

It’s easy to track your order, from the moment your personal shopper starts finding your items until the moment it arrives at your door.

Order status

To check your order status on the website—

• Click account

Need to give your driver last-minute delivery instructions? Click Chat with shopper. (For safety reasons, drivers might not reply while they’re en route.)

After a shopper picks and packs your orders, they start the delivery process. In some cases, the person who shops your order may not be the one who delivers it.

To make sure you get your delivery as scheduled

• Keep an eye out for text messages and phone calls from the delivery driver.
• Leave helpful instructions for parking, gate codes, or other clues to find your home.

If the delivery driver can’t find your location, they’ll try to get in touch with you by texting or calling. Unless you specifically request for them to do so, drivers can’t leave an order unattended.

If the driver can’t find or contact you, they may have to cancel the order

If you can’t be there to receive your delivery in person, we recommend first reaching out to a friend or neighbor to get it for you. Just let the driver know of the change by adding a note in the delivery instructions or sending them a message through the website.

Alternatively, you can check the box for Leave at My Door Delivery at checkout. You can leave additional instructions for your shopper and receive a photo confirmation once your groceries are delivered.

You can change your delivery date and time up until a shopper begins working on your order. Here’s how to reschedule

Please let us know as soon as possible if your order—

See a charge from Instacart you don’t recognize? Before you reach out to us for help, you may want to double-check it isn’t
● An Instacart+ subscription fee
● A temporary authorization hold for an order in process
● An adjusted total for changes in your order (e.g., items unavailable or replaced items at a different price)

Temporary authorization hold amounts
For orders in process, Instacart places a temporary authorization hold for a slightly higher amount than your estimated order total. This small difference accounts for potential changes in the final total due to special requests, added items, items replaced at a different price, and actual weight of items.
We release the authorization hold after your order is delivered or canceled. It can take 3-5 business days for the pending charge to drop, depending on your bank.
Instacart will only charge you for the total of the items delivered to you.

Final total different from total at checkout
When you place an order, Stew Leonard’s will show you the anticipated total, including estimated taxes and fees. The final total charged to your card may be different if any changes occur during the shopping process, such as—
● An item is out of stock and you’re refunded.
● You add an item to your order after checkout.
● An item you order needs to be replaced, and the replacement has a different price.
● An item you order is sold by weight and the exact weight is slightly different.
● Your shopper fulfills a special request for an item not in the catalog.

Recurring charges
For security reasons, Instacart’s payment processor can’t store a card's CVC on file. Instacart’s payment processor flags the initial charge as "recurring", so you don’t have to re-enter your card information every time you place an order.

Fraudulent charges
If the scenarios outlined in this article do not apply and you still feel the charge you see is fraudulent, please email [email protected] and include the following information—
● The last four digits of your card number
● The date of the unauthorized charge(s)
● The amount of the unauthorized charge(s)
Talk to Instacart before disputing unknown charges directly with your bank. When a dispute is filed, the associated Instacart account is placed on hold during the investigation, which can take up to 90 days.

For assistance with your Stew Leonard's loyalty account, please contact the Stew Leonard's Help Desk at 1-800-553-8341 (U.S.).
